eat a substantial amount of fish from
Onondaga Lake (300 people); (2) an
urban population who rely on fish from
Onondaga Lake as a source of food (100
people). Trained NYSDOH study staff
will work closely with local refugee and
citizen support organizations to get
people to take part in the study.
Formative research will be conducted to
determine the best method for recruiting
these Syracuse populations who eat fish
from Onondaga Lake.
All respondents who consent will
give blood and urine specimens. Their
blood will be tested for polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs), mercury, lead,

cadmium, polybrominated diphenyl
ethers (PBDEs), perfluorinated
compounds (PFCs), toxaphene,
chlordane, oxychlordane and transnonachlor, dieldrin, dechlorane plus,
omega-3 fatty acids, blood lipids, and
pesticides. Pesticides will include
mirex, hexachlorobenzene,
dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT)
and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene
(DDE). Their urine will be tested for
creatinine.
Respondents will also be interviewed.
They will be asked about demographic
and lifestyle factors, hobbies, and types
of jobs which can contribute to chemical

exposure. Some diet questions will be
asked, too, with a focus on eating Great
Lakes fish. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time spent
in the study.
The ATSDR is requesting a two-year
OMB approval for a total of 188 burden
hours per year. The agency is authorized
to conduct this program under the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended by
the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA).

Proposed Project
Division of Community Health (DCH)
Awardee Training Needs Assessment—
New—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) established the
Division of Community Health (DCH) to
support multi-sector, community-based
programs that promote healthy living.
To support these efforts, DCH
announced two new cooperative
agreement programs in 2014, as

E:\FR\FM\07NON1.SGM

07NON1

66380

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 216 / Friday, November 7, 2014 / Notices

authorized by the Public Health Service
Act. Both programs will apply public
health strategies to reduce tobacco use
and exposure, improve nutrition,
increase physical activity, and improve
access to opportunities for chronic
disease prevention, risk reduction, and
management.
The Partnerships to Improve
Community Health (PICH) program
(Funding Opportunity Announcement
(FOA) DP14–1417) will promote the use
of evidence- and practice-based
strategies to create or strengthen healthy
environments that make it easier for
people to make healthy choices and take
charge of their health. The 39 PICH
awardees include both state and local
governmental agencies and
nongovernmental organizations.
Awardees will work through multisector community coalitions of
businesses, schools, nonprofit
organizations, and other community
organizations. Projects will serve three
types of geographic areas: Large cities
and urban counties, small cities and
counties, and American Indian tribes.
The new Racial and Ethnic
Approaches to Community Health
(REACH) cooperative agreement (FOA
DP14–1419PPHF14) builds on previous
REACH program activities that began in
1999 with a focus on racial and ethnic
communities experiencing health
disparities. The 49 new REACH
awardees include local governmental

agencies, community-based
nongovernmental organizations, tribes
and tribal organizations, Urban Indian
Health Programs, and tribal and
intertribal consortia. Of these awardees,
17 are receiving funds for basic
implementation activities, and 32 are
receiving funds to immediately expand
their scope of work to improve health
and reduce health disparities. REACH is
financed in part by the Prevention and
Public Health Fund of the Affordable
Care Act.
CDC requests OMB approval to collect
the information needed to assess and
prioritize the training needs of PICH and
REACH awardees and key collaborators.
A DCH Training Needs Assessment
survey will be conducted at two points
in time: Once near the beginning of the
project period (first quarter of 2015) and
again in the second year of the project
period (last quarter of 2016). The first
administration of the survey will
provide an initial assessment of awardee
needs at program start-up. The second
administration of the needs assessment
will identify any new or modified
training needs that arise as awardees
progress in their cooperative agreement
activities. Questions within the needs
assessment focus on awardee
preferences for training modalities as
well as facilitators and barriers to
training access.
Respondents will be staff members
and coalition members associated with

the 88 DCH awardees (49 REACH and
39 PICH). Information will be requested
from four individuals affiliated with
each award: The principal investigator
or program manager, the lead evaluation
staff member, the lead media/
communications staff member, and a
coalition member. The maximum
number of respondents is 352 (88
awardees × 4 respondents/awardee).
Because the REACH and PICH awards
aim to promote collaborative, multisector efforts, approximately 192
respondents will be associated with
private sector entities, and 160
respondents will be associated with
state, local, or tribal government
entities.
The same survey instrument will be
administered to all respondents,
however the estimated burden per
response varies according to the
respondent’s project role and
responsibilities. Information will be
collected using a Web-based platform.
Data collection and management will be
conducted by a contractor on behalf of
CDC.
Findings will enable DCH to develop
appropriate training activities that best
support awardees’ community efforts to
fulfill their funded objectives.
OMB approval is requested for two
years. Participation is voluntary and
there are no costs to respondents other
than their time.
